Savory Carrot Ring

June 17, 2021

One of our readers wrote in today, asking for Derek Attig’s carrot ring recipe, after reading his piece about connecting to Jewish cuisine. “Out of ordinary ingredients—carrots, flour, shortening, sugar, salt—comes something that, with only a little bit of time and a table full of friends, feels comfortably, perfectly Jewish,” Attig wrote of the dish.

We thought all our readers might want this recipe, and Derek—who says it’s his “signature” now—agreed to share.
